About this task

Scenario: When you delete an integration node on Windows, the Windows service that is associated with the integration node might remain in a "Pending deletion" state.
Explanation: The "Pending deletion" state can occur if a Windows system tool has a handle on the service.
Solution: Close the system tool that has a handle on the Windows service, and the service should be deleted.

Scenario: You cannot delete a project from your workspace. You get error messages indicating that the containing directory cannot be deleted, or the project file is missing.
Explanation: If you attempt to delete a project, and the directory that contains the project is in use, or you have any files that are contained within the project that have been opened by programs other than the IBM® Integration Toolkit, some of the resources in the project are not deleted, but others, including the project file, might be deleted.
Solution: Before you delete a project, make sure that other applications do not have the files open, and that you do not have an open command prompt located in the directory. To recover from this problem, manually delete any remaining files and directories from your workspace directory, then click Delete from the project in the IBM Integration Toolkit.
